History

The room owes its name to Pedro De Gante, also known as Peter Van Gent. As a Flemish missionary, he was active in Mexico at the beginning of the 16th century, where he founded the first European school and had several churches and hospitals built. Pedro De Gante also protected the Indians against the Spanish conquistadors. He owes his title of important local of Ghent to his courage and perseverance during that period.
